' This is an exploratory THREAD about community medicine, how #AccessIsLove, & what #InaccessibilityMeans to abled & disabled people. '

🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱

🌱

Nourishing, supportive, consistent, relationship-building interactions with individuals surviving severe conditions...

🌱

...*innoculate* privileged, denial-afflicted ableists...

🌱

...against their own unfortunate experiences of destabilizing stress, life-threatening obliviousness, #AbledsAreWeird, confusion, paranoia, & unwitting cruelty.

🌱

These nourishing, supportive interactions are essential community medicine -- only available if one treats survivors well + respects disabled & marginalized people.

🌱

Without the kindness & respect of this community medicine, unwitting ableists don't understand why their lives are so difficult.

Their world is legitimately falling apart *because* it is disabling to individuals.

🌱

#InaccessibilityMeans the community medicine disappears -- not just for disabled people.

#InaccessibilityMeans the community medicine disappears for everybody.

#InaccessibilityMeans we have only scapegoats in its place.

🌱

All of this happens only because we lost track of how to care for human beings.

🌱

#AccessIsLove helps us remember again.

Please follow + support twitter.com/MiaMingus twitter.com/IntersectedCrip twitter.com/DisVisibility (#AccessIsLove), twitter.com/Emily_Ladau (#InaccessibilityMeans), & twitter.com/Imani_Barbarin (#AbledsAreWeird), the progenitors of these beautiful hashtags.

Thank you for making spaces for thriving.

🌱

Othering & exclusion are uncomfortable feelings -- but are eased by a sense of community safety & belonging.

For all people, #AccessIsLove.

🌱

#AbledsAreWeird when they inhibit their own functioning, safety, & recovery from hardship.

🌱

Able-bodied people feel othered & excluded only because they haven't discovered yet how to extend community to disabled & marginalized people.

🌱

That's the antidote.

🌱

It's a great antidote.

🌱

When we restore + support the community medicine of caring for one another...

🌱

...we find that a lot of things are easier than they were before.

🌱

Problems are solved more efficiently.

People are able to access their most personally healing, meaningful, & sustaining work.

🌱

We feel connection + relief.

🌱

This is medicine for communities.

🌱

If you want to be free of stress, Abled People, build supportive community relationships with Disabled People.

🌱

(What, you didn't think it could be that simple?)
